    Liebeskind, deluded that with his signature fractured compositions he is a fountainhead of the zeitgeist and expressive of some social reality in contemporary life or the reality to come, yesterday was dealt a validating hand by the City of New York. I find it sad that "we" endorse a scheme that will monumentalize the events of 9/11 and preserve a memory of the dead in the image of a ruin. If this event (Liebeskind's award) expresses anything about contemporary New York citizenry, it expresses our acceptance of defeat at the hand of scoundrels, our perverted revelling in victimization and our self-depricating europhilia. Welcome to the future of NYC in which our crowning achievement is synonymous with our most disasterous moment preserved.
